Isaiah 21:1-3

Tree of Life Version

As windstorms sweep over the South,
so it comes from the desert,
    a terrifying land.
² A harsh vision has been shown to me:
“The traitor betrays, and the plunderer plunders.
Go up, Elam! Besiege, Media!
I have put an end to all her groaning.”
³ Therefore my body is filled with pain.
Pangs have taken hold of me like the pangs of a woman in labor.
I am bewildered by what I hear,
    terrified by what I see.
